"Aina is a given name that is found in multiple cultures. It is typically a female name in Japan, Latvia, Malaysia, Catalonia, Bangladesh, and Scandinavia, and a male name in Nigeria. Aina is a variant of Aino in Scandinavia, and means "always."[2] In Latvia, the name Aina means "view, sight", and is a variant of the male name Ainārs.[3] In Japan, the name combines the Japanese words 愛 (ai) "love, affection" and 菜 (na) "vegetables, greens".[4] In Bangladesh, Aina is the Bengali word for "mirror." In the Arabic language Aina is derived from the word "Ain" meaning "eyes"."
Aino ist "die Einzige" im Kalevala, dem finnischen Nationalepos, als Name allerdings eine Erfindung von Lönnrot.

Meine aktuelle Lieblingsband kommt aus Russland und der Ukraine, nennt sich finnisch "Kauan", nach einem Lied der finnischen Band Tenhi. Top ist ihre Platte: Sorni Nai.
Kurze Info:
By the age of 16, Belov had written KAUAN’s debut LP, Lumikuuro, an atmospheric doom and black metal album Belov recorded with Borovykh and later released on BadMoonMan Records. He chose the name KAUAN—“For a long time” in Finnish—as it implied both the passage of time and anticipation. The album featured Belov’s somber and soulful clean vocals alongside sinister rasps, as well as many of the signature synthesizer tones and nature-evocative folk arrangements that would appear across subsequent KAUAN releases. It also established Belov’s unique ability to seamlessly contrast crushing metal and moments of quiet emotive introspection.
2015 saw the release of Sorni Nai, arguably KAUAN’s most ambitious work to that point. Sorni Nai chronicled the expedition of the nine doomed hikers who mysteriously died—killed by an “unknown compelling force” according to investigators—after disappearing in a blizzard in the Ural Mountains in what came to be known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident. Sorni Nai was conceived as a single piece of music, and brought KAUAN to new heights of cinematic musical storytelling, taking the listener through the innocent, idyllic outset of the hikers’ journey to the crushing, catastrophic end. The album received extensive critical acclaim.
